Love.
I am not even going to try to explain this word that is so pure and true and yet, steals into your heart and muddles everything that is in order. Love is everything. Without it, there is nothing. This paradox confuses even the very best of us to the extent that we have people who consciously refuse feeling what they cannot understand.
Love is the reason for this season of Christmas. This is why it is not out of place for us to review some profound definitions on love.
Here are my favourite 3 french authors with love definitions that will definitely give you clarity.
Anais Nin
1. “Do not seek the because in love. There is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.”
2. “What is love but the acceptance of the other, whatever he is.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
3. “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction.”
4. “For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.”
5. “Tell me who admires and loves you and I will tell you who you are.”
Honore de Balzac
6. “Love has its own instincts, finding the way to the heart as the feeblest insect finds its way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.”
7. “Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.”
8. “The more one judges, the less one loves”.
